The Faculty of Social Science at Western University invites applications for a
Tier II Canada Research Chair in the area of Migration and Ethnic Relations. In
accordance with the regulations set for Tier II Canada Research Chairs, the
candidate will hold a PhD (obtained within the last ten years), and will be an
outstanding emerging scholar who has demonstrated innovation with the potential
to achieve international recognition within five to ten years. The candidate must
propose an original research program that will attract external funding and
excellent graduate students. The competition is open to both Canadian and
international candidates.

Research on Migration and Ethnic Relations is broadly conceived as research
addressing immigration, integration, and cultural diversity policies and
practice; forces driving current and future migration processes; migration’s
influence on societies of origin and destination; ethnic diversity, interethnic
group relations, and race relations; interethnic and interracial conflict; and
ethnic and racial identity. The focus for this position is not
discipline-specific or region-specific. The search is being conducted at the
Faculty-wide level, with the final home department to be determined by the
discipline of the successful candidate.

Western University’s Centre for Research on Migration and Ethnic Relations
(MER)and its Collaborative Graduate Program in Migration and Ethnic Relations are
world leaders in research and graduate training related to migration and ethnic
relations. These interdisciplinary efforts provide graduate students with unique
training opportunities, while informing public policy and practice that
facilitate the well-being of immigrants and ethnic minorities. The MER Centre
resides in the Faculty of Social Science. The Faculty is widely recognized for
its excellence and innovation in undergraduate and graduate teaching and the
quality of its research programs. It is one of the largest and most diverse
Social Science Faculties in Canada, made up of eight core Departments –
Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, DAN Management and Organizational
Studies, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology, as well as the
interdisciplinary Department of Women’s Studies (housed in Arts and Humanities).
MER draws members from all of these Departments.

The successful candidate will hold a Probationary (tenure-track) appointment at
the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, as qualifications and experience
warrant, with a starting date of July 1, 2015 or later. She or he will be
expected to establish a competitive research program and to participate in
teaching and supervision at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Appointment to
a faculty position will be conditional on the selected candidate applying for and
being awarded a Canada Research Chair. The candidate will work in conjunction
with the Faculty and the Office of Research Services to develop a proposal to be
submitted with the Chair nomination to the CRC Secretariat in the fall of 2014.
